Former Steelers WR thinks Michael Thomas is the receiver Pittsburgh needs

The Steelers still need a starting wide receiver, and Emmanuel Sanders thinks Michael Thomas is the guy.

Despite all the moves the Pittsburgh Steelers have made this offseason, wide receiver remains a question mark. After trading away Diontae Johnson, the Steelers brought in several midtier veterans and drafted Roman Wilson, but Pittsburgh would be better off if they could land a quality starter to pair up with George Pickens and let Wilson work in the slot.

Former Steelers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders was on “Up & Adams” and shared his thoughts on the Steelers wide receiver position. Sanders said that if the Steelers do want to add a wide receiver to the roster, former New Orleans Saints wideout Michael Thomas would be a perfect fit.

Thomas led the league in receptions in 2018 and 2019 and led the league in receiving yards in 2019. But since then, Thomas has been limited by a variety of injuries and has played in only 20 games in the last four seasons. If Thomas is healthy, he should be fresh and still have plenty left in the tank despite being 31 years old.
